ALT A black-and-white view from the Curiosity rover shows a rocky, textured Martian surface with scattered slabs and ridges. The rover’s mechanical components and wiring are visible in the foreground, along with its shadow stretching across the lower left of the frame. The horizon rises in the distance with layered terrain.
ALT A close-up view of the Curiosity rover on Mars shows a section of the rover’s body that contains its calibration targets and two microchips (circled in red) mounted above them. These microchips contain the names of more than 1.2 million people who signed up to send their names to Mars. The dusty Martian surface is visible in the background.
ALT A black-and-white image shows the Curiosity rovers shadow on the surface of Mars. The rover has its robotic arm and drill extended out and the outline of the arm and tools is clear along the rocky surface.
ALT Engineers in cleanroom suits work on installing NASA's MOXIE instrument onto the Perseverance rover. The gold-colored, boxy device is suspended above the rover by a crane, with one technician guiding its placement. A black label on the image identifies the instrument with the text: "MOXIE – My oxygen-extracting experiment!" The scene takes place in a cleanroom facility, with additional personnel visible behind glass windows in the background.
ALT This is a close-up image of a drill hole in a flat, dusty, light-brown rock surface on Mars. The hole, made by the Curiosity rover, is surrounded by scattered, fractured rock fragments. The terrain is cracked and finely textured, piling up around the hole.
ALT A portion of a selfie is shown with the Curiosity Mars Rover angled to the side of the image. The head is coming in from the right and tilted toward the left with its rectangular head taking up most of the image.
ALT The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter is shown in a very rocky and sandy area of Mars. The silver and gray rotorcraft is stationary, with four rotor blades stacked on top of its boxy body as it stands on the reddish-hued surface.
ALT The Curiosity rover sits on a rocky, sloped terrain on Mars, captured in a wide-angle selfie. The rover’s robotic arm is visible, and its body is covered in dust from years of exploration. The landscape stretches out behind it, featuring layered, reddish-brown rock formations, scattered boulders, and a soft, dusty sky. In the distance, gentle ridge lines and sedimentary slopes of Mount Sharp are visible under a pale Martian haze.
ALT A side-by-side comparison of NASA’s Mars rovers: Curiosity (left) and Perseverance (right) are shown. Both six-wheeled rovers have a similar design, with robotic arms, cameras mounted on masts, and instrument-laden decks. Curiosity appears slightly more weathered and has simpler wheel treads, while Perseverance features more advanced instruments, sleeker design details, and redesigned wheels with thicker, zigzag treads for better durability on Martian terrain.
ALT A color-enhanced photo shows the dusty back end of the Perseverance rover. Behind it are wheel tracks left in the dusty Martian landscape and far off in the distance along the horizon is a dust devil riding along the hills.
